Will Kelly Clarkson gay rumors stop after the singer marries Brandon Blackstock?

Kelly Clarkson gay rumors abound. The 30-year-old "American Idol" singer has endured gay speculation for years, according to the The Huffington Post. Says Clarkson to Cosmopolitan magazine, "People think, 'Oh, she's been single for too long.' That's kind of an insult to the gay community. Being single doesn't mean you're gay. But I'm never insulted by it, obviously. I mean, I get hit on by the hottest girls ever. Oh, my god, if I were a lesbian, I would be so in luck. But it's just not my thing." Recently Kelly got engaged to talent manager Brandon Blackstock.

Who are a few other celebs who have endured gay rumors?

Taylor Lautner

Twilight's Taylor Lautner, who turns 21 in February, deals with gay rumors sparked by a People cover that proclaimed that the actor was "out and proud," as reported at The Los Angeles Times. However, People assured the public the cover was a fake.

Taylor has been spotted reportedly dating a couple of young stars in the past. One of them was Taylor Swift. They split at the end of 2009.

Chace Crawford

Is he or isn't he? "Gossip Girl"'s Chace Crawford, 27, is another celebrity who has been rumored to be gay. Crawford has been rumored to have dated J.C. Chasez of NSYNC, as reported at Hollyscoop.

Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana, the 34-year-old star of "Avatar," recently broke it off with Bradley Cooper. However, even though she's been in relationships with men, she's dodged with gay rumors. As reported at Starpulse, "People have sometimes told my grandmother, 'Your granddaughter has a bit of lesbianism in her.' It's that my sisters and I spent all our time among men (growing up). We were very popular with them. Our way of thinking is very masculine."
